CYBERSECURITY

Reduce Risks,
Increase Performance

# Cybersecurity & Risk Solutions

### Helping Organizations Reduce Risk and Strengthen Resilience

Cybersecurity challenges extend beyond protecting systems. Organizations today must defend against evolving threats, meet growing regulatory expectations, manage third-party risk, and support business growth without increasing operational complexity. LBMC helps organizations strengthen security, improve resilience, and reduce risk through practical cybersecurity solutions aligned with their business objectives.

LBMC’s Cybersecurity team helps organizations identify and manage cyber risk through security assessments, governance, compliance, technical security, and incident response. When organizations also need ongoing security operations, technology modernization, or managed IT support, we collaborate with the appropriate specialists across the [LBMC Family of Companies](https://www.lbmc.com/about-us/#family) to deliver coordinated solutions.

## What to Expect When You Work with LBMC

Every organization faces different cybersecurity challenges, so no two engagements are exactly alike. Whether you’re preparing for a compliance assessment, evaluating cyber risk, strengthening governance, or responding to changing business needs, our approach is designed to provide practical guidance that aligns security with your business objectives.

### Understand Your Environment

We begin by learning about your organization, technology environment, business priorities, and existing security controls. This helps us identify the risks and opportunities that matter most.

### Assess Risk and Security Posture

Our team evaluates your current cybersecurity program, identifies gaps, and measures your environment against applicable regulations, industry frameworks, and leading practices. Depending on your objectives, this may include [Compliance & Assurance](https://www.lbmc.com/services/cybersecurity/it-security-compliance-assurance/), [Cybersecurity Risk Assessments](https://www.lbmc.com/services/cybersecurity/security-risk-advisory/), or [Technical Security Services](https://www.lbmc.com/services/cybersecurity/technical-security/). Because different assessments serve different purposes, understanding the [difference between SOC audits and cybersecurity risk assessments](https://www.lbmc.com/blog/difference-soc-cybersecurity-risk-assessments/) can help organizations determine which approach best aligns with their security, compliance, and stakeholder requirements.

### Prioritize What Matters Most

Not every finding carries the same level of risk. We help you prioritize recommendations based on business impact, regulatory requirements, available resources, and organizational goals, creating a practical roadmap for improvement.

### Support Implementation

As you strengthen your cybersecurity program, we work alongside your internal teams and trusted technology providers to help guide implementation, monitor progress, and address emerging risks. When organizations require ongoing technology operations or managed security capabilities, we collaborate with our [Technology Solutions](https://www.lbmctech.com/) team to provide coordinated support.

Effective cybersecurity programs require more than identifying risk—they require putting the right safeguards into practice. LBMC helps organizations implement security improvements based on identified risks, business priorities, and technology environments. Identity and access controls are an important part of that effort, and strategies such as [multifactor authentication and Conditional Access](https://www.lbmc.com/blog/security-mfa-conditional-access/) can help reduce unauthorized access while applying stronger protections based on users, devices, locations, and other risk factors.

### Continue to Improve

Cybersecurity is an ongoing business initiative, not a one-time project. As your organization grows and risks evolve, we help you refine your security program, measure progress, and adapt your strategy over time.

## Why Organizations Engage LBMC's Cybersecurity Team

Organizations rarely invest in cybersecurity because of technology alone. They engage our team when security challenges begin affecting business performance, compliance obligations, customer expectations, or future growth.

Common reasons organizations work with LBMC include:

- Preparing for customer security assessments or regulatory requirements through [**Compliance & Assurance**](https://www.lbmc.com/services/cybersecurity/it-security-compliance-assurance/) services.

## Case Study: Healthcare Technology Client

### Cost Savings of Over $550,000

**Problem:** Our client approached LBMC to help minimize their audit fatigue and reduce costs related to cyber assessments. They also wanted to enhance the quality of their overall controls environment by streamlining the number of audits conducted across the enterprise.

**Approach:** LBMC began by identifying and recording all the cyber audits conducted across the organization. A specialized team was set up to meet with the client every month to ensure clear communication and effective coordination.

Initially, we found the client produced over ten SOC reports annually for different units. To reduce audits and costs, LBMC and company representatives developed standard controls usable across most units. The change to an Enterprise Controls SOC report streamlined the process, significantly saving time and money on each audit.

Next, LBMC carried out a HITRUST assessment for the entire enterprise. This allowed other units needing HITRUST assessments to adopt controls from the central report. As a result, there was no need to assess 972 controls individually.

Lastly, we aligned and merged the testing across the company’s various PCI environments. The company made its processes more efficient by aligning assessment schedules and combining cardholder data where possible. They also used LBMC’s extensive PCI knowledge to simplify the scope. As a result, they saved more than $175,000 annually on PCI assessments.

**Solution:** Thanks to LBMC’s strategic interventions, the client has realized significant cost savings amounting to over $550,000, including:

- $35,000 per future SOC report
- $159,000 in HITRUST audit fees
- $179,000 in PCI assessment costs

This simpler approach made the audit process easier and more affordable. It also improved the quality of each assessment and strengthened the client’s cybersecurity framework.

## FAQs About Cybersecurity Services

**What's the difference between cybersecurity compliance and cybersecurity risk management?**

Cybersecurity compliance focuses on meeting specific regulatory, contractual, or industry requirements, while cybersecurity risk management takes a broader approach to identifying, prioritizing, and reducing security risks that could affect the organization. Compliance may be driven by a particular framework or customer requirement, while risk management helps determine where security resources and investments should be focused based on the organization’s actual exposure. A [**Cybersecurity Risk Assessment**](https://www.lbmc.com/services/cybersecurity/security-risk-assessments/) can help identify and prioritize security gaps, while [**IT Security Compliance & Assurance Services**](https://www.lbmc.com/services/cybersecurity/it-security-compliance-assurance/) help organizations address specific frameworks, regulatory obligations, and stakeholder requirements.

**Do cybersecurity services help prepare for customer security assessments?**

Yes. Customers, business partners, and government agencies increasingly require organizations to demonstrate that appropriate cybersecurity controls are in place. LBMC helps organizations understand applicable requirements, identify control gaps, prepare documentation, and strengthen their security program before an assessment. Depending on the organization and its customers, that may involve frameworks and standards such as SOC, ISO 27001, NIST, CMMC, PCI DSS, or CSA STAR. LBMC’s [**IT Security Compliance & Assurance Services**](https://www.lbmc.com/services/cybersecurity/it-security-compliance-assurance/) can help organizations determine the appropriate assessment or compliance pathway and prepare for the requirements involved.

**How can cybersecurity support healthcare organizations?**

Healthcare organizations face unique challenges related to patient privacy, regulatory compliance, ransomware, and third-party risk. LBMC helps healthcare organizations strengthen their cybersecurity programs through [**HIPAA Security & Privacy Risk Assessments**](https://www.lbmc.com/services/cybersecurity/hipaa-risk-assessment/), [**Vendor Risk Management (VRM)**](https://www.lbmc.com/services/cybersecurity/security-risk-advisory/#vrm), and [**IT Security Compliance & Assurance**](https://www.lbmc.com/services/cybersecurity/it-security-compliance-assurance/) services while supporting broader [**Healthcare Industry Services**](https://www.lbmc.com/industries/healthcare/).

**Which cybersecurity framework is right for my organization?**

The right framework depends on your industry, customer requirements, regulatory obligations, and business objectives. Some organizations need [**SOC**](https://www.lbmc.com/services/audit-assurance/soc-audit/) reporting for customers, while others require [**HITRUST**](https://www.lbmc.com/services/cybersecurity/hitrust-assessment/), [**ISO 27001**](https://www.lbmc.com/lbmc-certification-services/), [**PCI DSS**](https://www.lbmc.com/services/cybersecurity/pci-dss-compliance/), [**NIST 800-171**](https://www.lbmc.com/services/cybersecurity/nist-compliance/), or [**CMMC**](https://www.lbmc.com/services/cybersecurity/cmmc-assessment/) certification or assessments. LBMC helps organizations determine which frameworks best align with their business and compliance requirements.

**How can cybersecurity support technology modernization?**

Implementing new ERP systems, CRM platforms, cloud technologies, or custom applications creates opportunities to strengthen cybersecurity from the start. Integrating security into technology initiatives helps protect sensitive information, reduce implementation risk, and establish stronger governance.

Our Cybersecurity team regularly works alongside [**Business Technology**](https://www.lbmc.com/technology/business-technology/), [**Accounting Software & Cloud Solutions**](https://www.lbmc.com/technology/erp/), [**Customer Relationship Management (CRM)**](https://www.lbmc.com/technology/crm-software/), and [**Integrations & Software Development**](https://www.lbmctech.com/software-development/) to help organizations build secure technology environments.

**How does cybersecurity support AI and data initiatives?**

AI and data initiatives rely on secure, well-governed information. Cybersecurity helps organizations protect sensitive data, strengthen access controls, manage AI-related risks, and establish governance practices that support responsible innovation.

LBMC’s Cybersecurity professionals frequently collaborate with [**AI & Generative AI Strategy Services**](https://www.lbmc.com/services/advisory/ai-business-intelligence/ai-generative-ai-strategy/), [**AI & Business Intelligence**](https://www.lbmc.com/services/advisory/ai-business-intelligence/), [**Business Intelligence & Analytics Services**](https://www.lbmc.com/services/advisory/ai-business-intelligence/business-intelligence-analytics/), and [**Data Modernization Services**](https://www.lbmc.com/services/advisory/ai-business-intelligence/data-modernization-services/) to help organizations securely leverage data and emerging technologies.

**How can organizations strengthen cybersecurity resilience and prepare for an incident?**

Cybersecurity resilience requires organizations to prepare not only to prevent attacks, but also to detect, respond to, and recover from them. A strong program should address technology, people, processes, incident response planning, data recovery, and business continuity so the organization can continue operating when a security event occurs. Developing a [**strong cybersecurity recovery strategy**](https://www.lbmc.com/blog/cybersecurity-recovery-strategy/) can help organizations identify critical systems, clarify response responsibilities, and prepare for recovery before an incident occurs. Organizations that lack sufficient internal security resources may also consider [**outsourced cybersecurity support**](https://www.lbmc.com/blog/cybersecurity-outsourced-relief/) to supplement internal teams with specialized expertise and ongoing security capabilities.

**What are some of the most important ways businesses can reduce cybersecurity risk?**

Reducing cybersecurity risk requires multiple layers of protection rather than relying on a single security tool. Organizations should combine strong identity and access controls, employee security awareness, network and endpoint protection, vulnerability management, monitoring, and incident response planning. Because employees remain a common target for attackers, organizations should also train users to recognize threats and follow practical steps to [**protect employees from phishing attacks**](https://www.lbmc.com/blog/employees-phishing-attacks/). Strong authentication is another important layer, and businesses should understand the differences between [**secure and unsafe MFA methods**](https://www.lbmc.com/blog/secure-unsafe-mfa-methods-authenticator-apps/) when determining how users should authenticate to business systems.

**What should businesses know about cybersecurity insurance?**

Cybersecurity insurance can help organizations manage some of the financial consequences associated with cyber incidents, but insurance should complement—not replace—a strong cybersecurity program. Coverage, exclusions, security requirements, and underwriting expectations vary by policy and insurer, and organizations may be asked to demonstrate controls such as multifactor authentication, backups, employee training, and incident response planning. Business leaders evaluating coverage can review LBMC’s [**guide to cybersecurity insurance**](https://www.lbmc.com/blog/what-is-cybersecurity-insurance/) to better understand how insurance fits into a broader cybersecurity risk management strategy.
